• here* the persian shah adopted western style arms in the 19th century. Considering the situation on IB, I thought it would be better to adopt something more representative. The lion is a symbol of royal power that had been used by various dynasty since the achaemenids. The fire altar behind it is a zoroastrian symbol and was used on sassanids coins. together they could be taken as representing the royal power defending the faith (a style adopted by many monarchs around the world).
